Id like to say that take the tube legend (CM1609) may be possible. I had
very similar and funny situation. It was in 2000 in Rome when there were
World Youths Days. We were coming back with friends from Vatican to
place where we had accommodation by metro. I was holding flagpole and
because it was quite long, I based it on one of the pipe in the train.
It was very crowdy inside and few people started to held my flagpole,
but then I shaked it, they noticed what were they holding and laugh.
Take a tube legend could be possible.
